Cézanne's Card Players, London

As in Peasant in a Blue Smock (c.1896-1897), Cézanne's card players seem as rock-like as the Provençal mountain, Sainte Victoire, that dominated much of his art. Local farmhands and gardeners sit still and silent, chewing pipes, cards in hand, their faces as enigmatic as granite. At
the Courtauld Gallery until 16 January.

Angela Bulloch, London

Angela Bulloch's Pixel Boxes are deceptively uniform. In works such as Copper 4, her minimalist cubes made of plywood, aluminium and glass look like something Donald Judd might have created. In an unprecedented move it's the boxes themselves that Bulloch is now taking to bits for her first UK show in five years. At
Simon Lee Gallery until 27 November.

George Barber, Dundee

George Barber emerged as an artist to be reckoned with from the Scratch Video movement of the 1980s. Here he shows India Shouting Match, a far from graceful confrontation of two competitors who yell at each other uncontrollably while being shoved together and hauled apart on mechanical pulleys. At
Dundee Contemporary Arts until 14 November.

Mark Bradford, London

Drawing on what he finds in his impoverished neighbourhood of South Central, LA, Mark Bradford's materials include local adverts. For his first UK show this recent recipient of a MacArthur "genius grant" has made paintings, such as Things Fall Apart, using posters advertising pest control and a service that lets you use your cellphone in jail. At
White Cube, Hoxton Square until 13 November.

Sidney Nolan, Cambridge

When people think of Sidney Nolan, they think of the Australian outback. It's a surprise then to discover his Antarctic works, which were created on a trip with the US Navy during Operation Deep Freeze in 1964. With paintings such as Scientist, Nolan brings a remarkable dynamism and colour to that frozen desert. At
the Polar Museum until 18 December.

The Moderns, Dublin

Subtitled The Arts in Ireland from the 1900s to the 1970s, The Moderns seeks to overturn the idea that modernism passed Ireland by. With the inclusion of Jack B Yeats's lyrical expressionism, Barry Flanagan's sculptural craic (such as Pile 1, above) or first editions by WB Yeats and James Joyce, it makes a persuasive argument. At the
Irish Museum of Modern Art until 3 April.

Phil Collins, Manchester

Phil Collins's video installations take a wryly humorous yet always empathetic look at those who suffer from political repression and media misrepresentation around the world. Here, the artist presents Marxism Today, an installation following the uncertain fortunes of Marxist-Leninist teachers from the former communist East Germany. At
Cornerhouse gallery until 28 November.
